Referring now to the drawings in. which the various parts are indicatedby numerals,..the

mechanism of this invention is carried by a base I i which is preferablysubstantially cylindrical in shape, and hassan upper horizontal face [3. The base II is; provided with a central vertical bore l5, Fig. 5,.consisting of an upper bore-portion l5Avwhich extends downwardlypreferably through approximately two-fifths of the depth'of the base, an.intermediate.bore .portionwhich extends downwardly from the lower end of portion I5A substantially an equal distance, and a further reduced diameter lower bore portion I50, which extends downwardly a minor distance and termi- The bore tinuous stepped bore extending through base II. An annularshoulder l1 forms the bottom of the upper portion i5A'and surrounds-the upper end of the intermediate bore portion lsoanc similarly a lowerannular shoulder It! forms the bottom of intermediate bore" portion [53 and surrounds the upper end of lower 'bor'e'portion I50.

Upper face I3 is annularly grooved adjacent its periphery and 'concentric with bore 15 to "form a trackway. I 9, having a bottom"l9A'-' disposed below the-upper surface of face l3,-and an annular relatively thin upstanding side wall ISB' surrounding thetrackway, the'upper edge wall ISB bein'gfiush with face [3. Communicating with trackway bottom iBA'are vertical gravity discharge passageways '2 l, which are preierablyof circular cross section and 'e'x tend downwardlythrough a substantial portion of the thickness'of base ll toterrninate insultable access openings 23, Fig-. 1!

which is of circular cross section and extends from the side wall of the base into ,communica-i tion with upper bore portion |5A.

Mounted in central bore |5 is an elongated ver- 5 I tical post 21, the body of the post-beingof a size to closely and slidably fit intermediate bore porprovided with a plurality of apertures, in each of which a die 39 is mounted, preferably removably. The dies 39 are arranged with their centers on an are formed concentrically with turntable aperture 3| and trackway l9. Preferably dies 39 are of varying size so as to provide a plurality of dies,

nvhich. .asindicated irrFig. 2, .are arranged in graduation ;fromiargestto smallest along the arc in which they lief The lower face of the turntable 29 is recessed adjacent one end of retainer 31 to house a rotatable'screwwh'eel 4| having a downwardly projecttion |5B, the post terminating in a lower'reducedportion 21A which is externally threaded, lower bore portion |5C being internally threaded to receive and engage lower postiportion 2 IA to retain the post mounted in bore l5. Base may be recessed as at 28 to provide access to the lower post portion 21A from beneath the base and a lock'nut (not shown) may be added to engage post portion 21A within recess 28 and lock the post in mounted position if desired.

Seated on upper face |3 of base ||-is arotatable turntable 29 which is providedwith a central aperture 3|,the upperportion of the aperture being enlarged preferably by beveling as at 32. The lower portion of the aperture is of a diameter substantially equal to the diameterof upper bore portion |5A. Turntable 29 overlies and covers upper face |3, turnably seating on the upper face and upon the upper edge of trackway wall I918. A

Aplurality ofvertical apertures 33 (Fig. 4) are formed to extend through turntable 29, apertures 33 being arranged in'an 'arcua'te band overlying and'concentric with trackway l9 and'extending around asubstantial portion of turntable 29. A like plurality of anvil-like stumps 34, provided on theirrespective tops with faces of varying sizes and shapesconvenient for use in connection'with many of the stepsnecessary inwatch repair are The stumps are normally retracted with the top faces ofthe stumps lying substantially flush with the upperifaceof turntable 29. Stumps 34 normally depend below the lower face of turntable 29 and are positioned tolie within trackw'ay |9 with their lower ends spaced slightly above trackway bottom|9A. In this manner the trackway is.enabled to house the stumps in retracted position and to prevent interference by the stumps with rotation of the turntable. Each of the stumps is cut away intermediateits-length as at.35 to provide upper and loweroutwardly projecting Turntable 291s provided with an elongated. retamin member 31 (Fig. 3 which preferably consists of a substantially flatmember positioned in Suitable slot formed the edge of turntable stumps and to be effective as a stop :limiting re,

Turntable 29 along an additional time band,

also concentric with and overlying trackway I9, is

me hub 42 which is journalled in a plate 43, plate 43 being rigidly attached to turntable 29 and .lying substantially flush with the lower face of theturntable 29 and supporting screw wheel 4| witha portion of the edge of screw wheel 4| projecting outwardly beyond the periphery of turntable 29. Hubv 42 and screw wheel 4| are centrallyapertured'the apertures being in' register with an aperture45 extending through the upper faceiof turntable; -Hub-42 is internally threaded-and'isadapted'ito-receive and engage externally:threadednmembers as hereinafter pointed out.-.- Adjac'ent-andradially alined with aperture 45 is a-small recess 48, the recess 46 and aperture 45 being connected by ashallow'groove 41.

'Slidablypurrounding post 2'1 is an elongated collarj49, the inner diameter of which is such as t'o-closely and sl-idably fit the body-of post 2 The lower portion".5|.-;:of collar 49 is preferably of larger diameterrthan the upper portion thereof. lower collar portion 5|= closely fitting within upper/bore portion |5A and'the lower portion of turntable aperture 3|. Collar '49 is further provided with an intermediate enlarged portion, as for example beve1r53, which is adapted to overlie and seat against turntable bevel 32. The lower endof collar 49, when the collar is positioned surrounding post 21, is'seated on annular shoulder I! of bore I5. Collar portion 5| is further pro vided with an aperture. 55 having a diameter less than the .diameteri of tunnel 26 positioned in communication but-out of axial alinement with tunnet-'26,. the uppe'r portion of :aperture 55 being preferably normally alined with the upper portion of tunnel;

vided withan-endportion 59 which is ofa diameter les's 'thanthejdiamfeter of pin 51 and also less than the diameter of collar aperture 55. End portion 59 projects {inwardly from the inner end of pin 51', is positioned out of axial alinement with the barrel of pin 51 and 'extends into collar aperture 55, being positioned eccentrically of the aperture. -Thebarrel of pin 51 is provided with an annular groove 6| which is engaged by the upper end of an elongated retainer member 63, which retaining member conveniently extends from the botom' of base upwardly intoengagement with groovefil. The engagement of the groove-by the retaining member permits rotation ofpin 51 about its longitudinal axis while limiting horizontal movement of the pin. It

"will. be observed that'when pin 51 and eccentric end'portion'59 arein the position illustrated in Fig. --3 .the end portion extends into the interior of collarnapertiire'55,'in contact with the upper portion-of: aperture 55 limiting vertical movement of collar 49, so as to retain the collar and t.ur'ntable-':29againstremoval from the unit.
